Excellent photo and great example of an NA6.

Though may I suggest that you do a little bit of aligning of the height of your headlight covers to your bonnet. As noticed from the photo, they're not quite aligned. If you're not aware, aligning these does not take too much effort to do. A slight lift and/or press in key areas using nothing but your fingers should do it nicely.

I wasn't brave enough to use my fingers to align my headlight covers, i was scared i might bend them. I loosened the screws to adjust mine. It's a very satisfying thing to do when you see afterwards that the covers are perfectly aligned with the bonnet! :D

Small increments and light pressures is the key (when using fingers). The headlight covers are made out of aluminium, so it does not take much effort to adjust it's height/alignment. Just take your time. Even then it shouldn't take more than 5mins to do both covers.

Thx for the tip guys! I never really noticed it till it was pointed out. It took 2 minutes to fix using just my fingers and looks heaps better.

Looking much better Earlybird!

I love this forum for the same reason: Heaps of information, and the people here are incredibly helpful and friendly, the troll factor here is very near zero which is refreshing.

Here's a shot I've grown to like of mine after a full detail, graininess and all: and is the reason I like spending many hours on a car, the result. :D

Agreed. Awesome shot, looking good with the black wheels which is something I'm not usually a fan of, but in this case it's done right.

An old photo, but one of my favourites all the same.

Looks great Danny, got a dyno sheet?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Not for public consumption as yet Dave. Need to complete the last stage of testing (ringing its neck on a race track :twisted: )....hopefully over the next few weeks I'll something to say on the matter.

Cheers,
Danny
